Below please find information about the general GSST regulations and the procedures for doctoral researchers and advisors how to join the GSST.

The bylaws of the University of Würzburg Graduate Schools (UWGS)determine the organizational structure of the UWGS.

Rules regarding admission, the study program, the role of the advisory committee as well as the process of thesis submission and thesis defense are laid down in the graduation regulations. They consist of a general section that applies to all graduate schools and sections specific for each graduate school (section 4. starting on page 41 specifically refers to the GSST). 

Admission to the GSST can be sought by individuals with a relevant scientific background. A MSc degree qualifies for direct entry into the doctoral program. A Bachelor's degree or other degrees not fully equivalent to a MSc may allow admission to a qualification period under some conditions (restrictions apply).

Admission should take place prior to or at the very beginning of your doctoral project. Admission can take place any time throughout the year. It will be followed by university enrollment at the earliest possible date.

To proceed go to the site "Application and Admission"

Faculty members fufilling the requirements of the BayHSchPrüferV may apply for GSST membership. GSST membership is obligatory for supervision of GSST doctoral researchers.
